Further, it is possible to maintain satisfactorily good air-sealing properties of the inner liner by setting the distance L to be equal to or less than 20% of the distance T. In particular, it is possible to make the escape passage for residual air as small as possible and achieve better airtightness by setting the distance L to be equal to or less than 10% of the distance T and/or setting the distance L to be 1 mm or less.
- the gauge A is to be smaller than the distance L.
- the gauge A is preferably set to be equal to or less than 0.5 mm and more preferably equal to or less than 0.4 mm. This structure ensures satisfactorily narrow escape passage for residual air and thus satisfactorily good airtightness of the inner liner layer.
- the distance T is preferably in the range of 10 mm ⁇ T ⁇ 35 mm, more preferably in the range of 10 mm ⁇ T ⁇ 20 mm, and further more preferably in the range of 10 mm ⁇ T ⁇ 15 mm.
- the distance T ⁇ 10 mm ensures satisfactory air-sealing properties of the inner liner and the distance T ⁇ 20 mm (preferably ⁇ 15 mm) ensures satisfactory suppression of formation of residual air reservoir in the tire-building and vulcanization processes and thus further improvement of manufacturing quality of the tire.
